My pregnancy cravings have been calling for chocolate chip cookies after seeing all these Coles ads with their chocolate chip cookies – so I thought I would make my own and add some oats in there for some texture, fibre and goodness! These are very moreish cookies and delicious with a cuppa tea or a cold glass of milk! Mmm!

Iced Vovo + Slice = Y U M!!! This is a slice version of the classic Arnott’s Iced Vovo! This takes the coconut and strawberry flavours on my childhood favourite Iced Vovo making one GIANT Iced Vovo!!!

I have added glucose syrup to the pink icing to make it more fondant-like (like the Iced Vovo describes) and so it sets firmer – it is kind of the texture of icing + fudge. If you don’t have glucose, you can easily omit it and it will be a buttercream texture.

Add SLICE ingredients to bowl.

Mix 20 seconds/Speed 5.

Pour and spread into a rectangular baking tin…

…and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Cool before icing. Clean and dry bowl.

Place icing mixture in a piping bag/ziplock bag with tip cut off and pipe on top of the jam, leaving the middle with only jam. Roughly spread the icing down to cover any 'exposed jam spots' and top/press the icing and jam topping with extra desiccated coconut.

Notes

*Pipe the icing on so that it is evenly distributed and makes it easier to get the nice defined jam strip through the middle
**You can omit the glucose syrup from the icing mixture (it will make a buttercream), however the glucose makes it firmer to sit on top of the jam (has a fudge + icing sugar texture)

Jewel cookies were my fave type of cookie when I was growing up from The Cookie Man! I couldn’t find a mixed packet of jewel type lollies – the closest I could find was mini red frogs, which is great- considering the red lollies always get eaten first anyway, right?!

This is made easy as it is a ‘chuck in all ingredients and mix’ type of recipe, which I am a HUGE fan of!!! These cookies are MELT IN YOUR MOUTH type cookies – sooo delicious, however with little toddler fingers, it is best to be eaten outside as melt in your mouth cookies = lots of crumbs!!! 🙂

You can use any type of jube/chewy like lolly in the middle – if you want everything homemade, you could also use my Jube Lollies on it too, which would be AMAZING!

Ahhhh these are the type of cookies that you can keep eating, and eating, and eating!! They are a fluffy, melt in your mouth cookie, with a crunchy sugary cinnamon coating and taste like what a doughnut would taste like… in cookie form! My husband has been eating these with a slather of Nutella on top!
